About Ulton >
The History of the Firm

Ulton is a firm as dynamic and progressive as it is rich in tradition, heritage and history.

The firm commenced operations in Bundaberg in 1926, founded by Mr Bill Schoch.  With his son then joining the firm, it became ‘Schoch & Schoch’, followed by “Schoch, Schoch & Hancock” after the commencement as Partner of Mr Ron Hancock.  Mr Hancock and others would then go on to establish one of Queensland’s largest building societies (Wide Bay Australia) in 1966, with both firms growing together to establish a close working relationship.

Mr Peter Sawyer joined the firm in 1974, later becoming Partner in 1977. 

In 1990 the firm’s name changed to ‘Hancock, Sawyer & Partners’ and in 1996 Peter Sawyer and Daryl Corpe bought Ron Hancock’s share in the firm, later renaming it ‘Hancock Sawyer Corpe’.

In September 2000 the name changed to Ulton, incorporating a bold and dynamic new logo, colours and corporate theme to reflect the evolution of the firm in to its role today as one of Queensland’s largest chartered accounting, business advisory and financial planning firms.

The brand Ulton is derived from the two words – ‘Ultimate’, meaning the highest or most significant, and ‘On’, meaning advancement with continued movement or action.  Therefore, Ulton is a firm focussed on results for clients with a vision of working with them to create the highest or most significant solution combined with advancement through movement and action.

In simple terms, this means Ulton exist to help you grow your business and personal wealth through personalised solutions.
